NHL Insider Reveals What The Asking Price Will Be To Acquire Penguins Star Player
The buzz around the NHL is that Jake Guentzel of the Pittsburgh Penguins could be on the move as we approach the 2024 trade deadline.
The Penguins, still in the hunt for a playoff spot, are weighing their options. With the deadline on March 8th looming, they must decide: double down on this season's roster for a playoff push or trade away assets for future gains.
Jake Guentzel, set to become a free agent after this season and likely to command a hefty raise, is at the center of these trade speculations. Given the financial implications, his days in Pittsburgh might be numbered.
Emily Kaplan has revealed the asking price for Guentzel: the Penguins want multiple first-round picks or a mix of a first-round pick and a top prospect in exchange for their star forward.
Guentzel, at 29, has been a standout this season with 52 points in 50 games. Over his career, he has amassed 466 points in 503 games, proving his worth as a top-tier forward. However, his recent injury, occurring just two weeks ago, could impact his trade value as the deadline draws near.
